About Duolin:
Duolin (Salbutamol/Ipratropium Bromide) is a medicine used to treat and manage obstructive airway diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. The drug is a combination of two different medicines which gives it a bronchodilatory effect useful in treating reversible bronchospasms in patients.
How to use Duolin
Because of the effect that combining the two medicine has on the drug, most physicians recommend patients to use this combined medicine in instances when more than one bronchodilator is required. Salbutamol which can also be referred to as USAN albuterol is categorized as a beta two adrenergic receptor agonist. Its main function is to target the smooth muscles within the airways and relax them. This directly affects the airways by opening them up. The other medicine that makes part of Duolin is Ipratropium bromide which is an anticholinergic type of medicine. Its general procedure of action involves the inhibiting of muscarinic receptors in the lungs. This, in turn, prevents the blocking of airways by a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. The combination of these two medicines makes them more effective in treating and managing bronchodilation and other obstructive airway diseases as compared to the use of only one ingredient.
